GEM Premier 5000 blood gas testing system provides automated quality assurance with every whole blood sample. With next-generation Intelligent Quality Management (iQM2), featuring IntraSpect™ technology, potential errors are detected not only before and after, but also during sample analysis, along with real-time correction and documentation. Plus, it’s simple—just change the all-in-one GEM PAK cartridge once a month. So regardless of testing location or point-of-care operator, quality results and compliance are assured with every sample.

Assuring quality before, during and after sample analysis—for improved patient care.

Real-time assurance and advanced simplicity

GEM Premier 5000 system measures blood gases, pH, electrolytes, metabolites, CO-Oximetry and more. iQM2 provides real-time assurance, the all-in-one, multi-use GEM PAK offers advanced simplicity and GEMweb Plus 500 Custom Connectivity enables comprehensive management of point-of-care testing.

HIGHLIGHTS

Real-time quality assurance, everywhere

iQM2 with IntraSpect technology provides intelligent analyzing—automated quality assurance, continuously and in real-time, unlike traditional QC (auto or manual). With real-time detection, iQM2 performs continuous checks—before, during and after every sample. Error detection time is reduced from hours to minutes and errors are automatically corrected and documented, for a complete picture of quality with every sample.

Advanced simplicity

All-in-one, multi-use GEM PAK offers advanced simplicity at every point of care. Self-contained GEM PAKs automates the most labor-and skill-intensive processes and are available in multiple menu and test-volume configurations. With a use-life of 31-days, they require no refrigeration**, allowing ultimate flexibility for point-of-care testing.

Management and compliance simplified

GEMweb Plus 500 Custom Connectivity is designed to simplify operator supervision and quality management with full traceability. All from a single interface—whether accessed in the lab, at the point-of-care or remotely from an analyzer, PC or tablet device—GEMweb Plus 500 provides customizable and automated functionality for management of analyzers and operators.

iQM2: a continuous cycle of 5 quality checks for real-time assurance

iQM2 runs quality checks for every sample analysis, before, during and after.

This ensures accuracy of results, regardless of point-of-care operator, time or place.

New advanced features ensure optimum cybersecurity and efficiency

Powerful cybersecurity protects system from malware threats and unauthorized access through continual monitoring and proactive prevention. Enhanced integrated Wi-Fi simplifies and streamlines processes. Remote support enables remote screen sharing during telephone calls with Technical Support.
